ESOL and IBDP Language B Teaching Expertise

How He’s Using Cathoven AI

Adapting Reading Materials with Level Adaptor

“At school, we teach a few hours of history to our students as a way to work with reading and oral skills. Students are not divided according to language level, so with Cathoven, I’ve been able to adapt reading to the different levels students have in class.”

Analyzing Listening Materials with Youtube Analyzer 

Cathoven AI analyzes the CEFR level of any video, generating color-coded transcripts that highlight vocabulary, sentence structures, and grammar points. Imagine saving hours of prep work while ensuring your materials are perfectly tailored to your students’ proficiency levels.

Impact on His Students

Enhancing Student Confidence and Participation with Tailored Reading Levels

“…This allows them to access the content and process it, which helps to even the field for them as they don’t feel left out or behind their classmates with a higher level.”

Why Choose Cathoven?

“Cathoven is an AI platform that caters exclusively for English language teachers.”
